Jackson, Mir Rake Event-High $250,000 Purses at UFC 130

Quinton
Jackson and Frank Mir each
walked away from the MGM Grand Garden Arena with event-high
$250,000 purses after dominating their respective foes in unanimous
decision victories at UFC
130, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Nevada State
Athletic Commission.

In Saturday’s main event, former 205-pound champion Jackson
dictated the pace against Matt Hamill
($32,000) from start to finish, stuffing the wrestler’s takedowns
and making him pay with strikes in the standup.

In the heavyweight co-headliner, ex-titleholder Mir continually
took down Roy Nelson
($15,000), making life difficult on “Big Country” for the bout’s
three-round duration.

Lightweight Gleison
Tibau also took home a handsome sum, as the Brazilian earned
both his win bonus and “Submission of the Night” honors for a grand
total of $120,000 after choking out Rafaello
Oliveira ($10,000) in the second round.

Hard-punching middleweight Brian Stann
netted a total of $116,000 for his “Fight of the Night” performance
against Jorge
Santiago ($106,000), who also received “FOTN” honors despite
being knocked out in the second frame.

Heavyweight prospect Travis
Browne was awarded a total of $86,000 for delivering “Knockout
of the Night” to fellow up-and-comer Stefan
Struve ($21,000).
